32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him,
    that we should come together in judgment.
33 There is no umpire between us,
    that might lay his hand on us both.

        or that we can enter into litigation[a] with one another.
33 There is not yet a mediator between us,
    who would set his hand on the two of us,
34 removing his rod from me,
    and not letting terror of him overwhelm me.
35 Otherwise, I would speak without being terrified of him,
    because I’m not like that inside myself.”
